Step 4: Felt Experience:
Raivon:
As a child I was always extremely shy and it was complicated for me to communicate and make new friends until someone made an appoint to come up to me and make conversation. I never really discussed my feelings and let people inside my life because I never did it freely so it wasn’t a natural habit. Due to this it was hard to adjust and become accustomed to those around me. I also had to start networking when college started or I wouldn’t have any convenient connections.
Craig:
Last year I took a very challenging finance course that was extremely intricate and often times hard to understand. I studied for hours on end for the first exam but I did not do was well as I had hoped. I wanted to get a better grade by the time the next exam came around, so I realized that I must become flexible, and change my studying habits. I began to read the chapters before I went to class, and I became more engaged in the classroom. I found that by studying the blueprint of the course I was able to grasp more knowledge on the topics at hand. By the time the next exam came around I was able to get a far better grade, and it changed the rest of my outlook on the course as a whole.
Olivia:
The summer of my freshman year of highschool, I got the opportunity to travel to Italy with my whole family. I went there without knowing much about their culture and their different METHOD of doing some things. One thing I realized was how many places would often close during lunch time for a few hours, causing us to READJUST our schedule. Also, things like going out to dinner or asking for directions were often surprisingly CHALLENGING to us, since we did not speak much italian.However, I had a very positive experience and would love to go back in the future. This experience allowed me to try new things and gave me a new perspective on life.

Step 9: Felt Experience
Raivon
Habits are created through repetition because they become automatic and regular for that person to to do them. For example, by habit I open the door for others that are coming behind me because my mom always told me that was polite of me to do so. Also, the habit of studying and continuously going over material that will be on a test is something students get into in order to pass and do good within their classes. You can also make connections through these habits due to the fact that some people can relate to your habits and way of doing things.
Craig:
Growing up I would constantly try to keep myself in association with people that had similar goals as myself. I often found that I would spend the majority of my time with friends that were on my sports teams and kids who always put the extra effort in school. I subconsciously did this because these were the people that had similar routines and passion as myself. For teammates, we would always be together, and in return go about our day in the same or a very similar fashion. Whether it was waking up early to go to the gym, or going to practice, or studying late at night after a game, we had the same type of mentality about life at that time.
Olivia:
After graduation, I am keeping an open mind for what kind of job I am interested in. However, I would like to be ASSOCIATED with those with a common interest or goal. Although I am someone who enjoys having a routine during some parts of my day, I also like to be spontaneous at times and go with the flow. I would be interested working somewhere where things switch frequently and where no day is exactly the same.

Step 11: Insight and Realization
Raivon:
All in all we go through many experiences that make us learn and know more about ourselves that we might’ve not known before. Through these new words we enhance our knowledge and get to express those words in many different ways so we know the word inside and out. We learn through images, words, creation, habits, people, environments, etc. With that being said words are crucial within our everyday life and without expanding our knowledge within it’ll become more difficult to grow as a person.
Craig:
Throughout your life you go through various situations, experiences, and events that shape the person you are today. The way that you process these situations and feel about them are your felt experiences, and they can affect the way you think, act, and process information. This class has taught me that you must be adaptive in your actions and choice of words in the real world. This can and will give you the key to shape your success. You should try your best to learn your audience so you can properly adapt your word choice to best connect with the person you are trying to communicate with. This will make you stand out compared to the competition, and in return put yourself in the power position in the conversation.
Olivia:
In order to be successful and to live life to the fullest, you must adapt to different situations and learn how to interact with all kinds of people. Without any change, it would be too easy and boring. Restructuring allows us to show our abilities of adjusting to that change. The experiences in our lives make us who we are today.
